Ozzy Osbourne was scheduled to appear at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix, Arizona, later this month, but his wife, Sharon Osbourne, confirmed that the singer will no longer attend due to his health condition.
According to The Sun, the former Black Sabbath frontman was booked to appear at the horror and sci-fi event along with other family members as part of the Osbournes meet-and-greet package, which costs $666.
His son, Jack Osbourne, will attend the event, but doctors have advised the singer not to fly. His wife, Sharon, and daughter, Kelly Osbourne, have also pulled out.

The former The Talk host took to her official X account to share a video where she confirmed the sad news to fans, saying, "Regretfully, the Osbourne family have to cancel our upcoming appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix because Ozzy is unable to travel at this time."
Sharon confirmed that those who bought tickets for the meet-and-greet will receive full refunds.
"We would like to thank you all for your constant support with Ozzy. It means so much to him; you have no idea... All I can do is apologize that we won't be there, and I'm apologizing to the people we've let down from my heart.

Fans took to the comment section to share their good wishes, with one writing, "Love to you, Sharon, and to Ozzy! All that matters is that you both take care of yourselves the best that you can. Do what you have to do. We will always be here for you."
"Ozzy is what matters. I know some folks might be upset, but things happen. We're behind you all the way, Ozzy," another one wrote.
The musician has been struggling with his health since 2019 after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Since then, the musician has been facing mobility issues and even nerve pain, depression, and blood clots.
In 2023, he underwent an operation stemming from a fall that happened in 2019 that dislodged metal rods in his back that he got from a quad bike crash in 2003.
Despite his health problems, the singer is still willing to come out of retirement to perform again. On his SiriusXM show, he gave an update about his stem cell therapy and shared his plans.
"I'd like to do a f****** gig without falling over now," he told his co-host, Billy Morrison.
